Corporate contract caterer, Lexington Catering, has supported The Genie’s Wish charity’s annual ‘Wishmas’ party at London’s landmark toyshop, Hamleys, by providing delicious festive treats and refreshments for children and families.
Lexington served homemade snacks and festive sweet treats, as well as a selection of soft drinks to over 350 wish beneficiaries and supporters. Lexington is now in its 10th year of supporting charitable giving for The Genie’s Wish charity.
The Genie’s Wish charity’s annual ‘Wishmas’ party is a special event designed to offer children a break from their daily life stresses with a special Christmas experience at London’s oldest toy shop. During this event, Genie’s Wish beneficiaries have exclusive access to Hamleys, with volunteers dressed in costumes, a Disney princess brigade, and a festive singalong.
The Genie’s Wish enhances the lives of people with a terminal illness or living with a life-limiting condition, from birth to age 40, as well as young carers aged five to 18. The Genie’s Wish gives children, along with their families, respite by providing them with a life-changing wish, experience, or ongoing opportunity.
Martin Neal and Katie Jones, Co-founders of The Genie’s Wish, said: “We feel extremely lucky to be continually supported by Dang Pham and the team at Lexington Catering and cannot thank them enough for their support at our Wishmas party.
“Lexington’s delicious treats and refreshments enhanced our festive celebration, and everyone commented on the quality of the food. Thank you for making our event even more enjoyable.”
Jon Lilley, Group Development Chef at Lexington Catering, commented: “We love supporting the great work that The Genie’s Wish charity does and its Wishmas event is something we look forward to being involved in each year. It is a magical celebration and such a joy to see so many deserving children and young adults enjoying themselves.”
